 Here goes[8-|]

1) Take one windscreen and make sure it is clean and dry

2) With an able assistant place the sunstrip (with backing cover still attached) on the windscreen and mark to within a couple of mm of the windscreen edge around the sunstrip. Also, measure and mark the centre of the sunstrip and the centre top of the windscreen

3) Remove from the windscreen and with an ultra sharp blade trim the strip to size

4) Measure and mark the centre of the logo to be applied to the sunstrip

5) Lightly (and I say lightly) spray a mist of water on the sunstrip

6) with an able assistant remove the backing sheet from the logo

7) with the able assistant stretch the logo above the sunstrip and lay lightly on top of the middle of the sunstrip (matching up centres on both items)

8) with a flat edge ruler or edger press firmly on the centre of the logo and gently work to either edge removing water and air bubbles as you go (make sure each section is air and bubble free before continuing to the next)

9) once you have completed this process and the logo is attached to the strip then......

10) lightly (and again I say lightly) spray a mist of water on the top of the windscreen

11) with an able assistant remove the backing sheet from the sunstrip

12) with the able assistant stretch the sunstrip and lay lightly on top of the middle of the windscreen (matching up centre of sunstrip with the top centre of the windscreen)

13) with a flat edge ruler or edger press firmly on the centre of the sunstrip and gently work to either edge removing water and air bubbles as you go (make sure each section is air and bubble free before continuing to the next)

14) ..........and once completed go around the edge of the sunstrip gently ensuring that the whole strip is sticking to the windscreen.

15) stand back and admire your work[:D]

Please note* if you dont have an able assistant yer facked![:P][;)]

Please also note* you could attach the sunstrip to the windsreen first and then the logo onto it once its fitted to the windscreen but, I personally think its easier to centre the logo on the sunstrip before applying to the windscreen. Up to you tho

Hope that helps?

Right Gents, sunstrips are all made just waiting on the etch effect stickers so, all going to plan these will be in the post on Friday night/saturday morning.

Cheers

Gus

PS if anyone else now wants a sunstrip/etch effect stickers let me know as Steve will honour these prices until the end of the month.

Guys,

If you want a pair of swooshes! In whatever colour I'm sure that can be arranged no problemo[Y]. I take it you would want one in reverse so that they "swoosh" back the way on both sides of your spoilers and c. 5-6"tall!!?

If so I'll sort oot a price with Stevie when I pick up the etches. PS anything you want can be printed. Logo's, Robin graphics, Spike logos, Alpinestars logo, pig etc.....

Let me know.

Gus

Guys,

sorry for the delay in sending these out. Been mega busy over the last 10 days and waiting for some protective tubes to put them in. 

Keap_ Scooby you should have received yours by now!? Everyone else these will be posted out tomorrow so hopefully with you Tuesday.

Again, sorry for the delay[:$]

Iain, I'll try n sort out your swooshes this week[Y] anyone else?

Be careful when fitting your sunstrip, make sure it doesnt come too far down your screen as it will fail an MOT like mine did until i ripped it off!
